Long Island Fiduciary Providing Personalized Investment Management & Retirement Oversight

A fee-only fiduciary advisor in Commack, NY, providing transparent portfolio management with low-cost index funds

Built for Stability

A strong emphasis on time-tested investments and nothing speculative. The guiding principle is long‑term wealth preservation above all else.

No Commissions or Hidden fees

As a fee-only fiduciary, my compensation comes solely from the fees you pay. Your costs are fully transparent—clearly disclosed, with nothing hidden in fine print.

Transparent Pricing

At First Shelbourne, I believe high-quality fiduciary advice shouldn't come with a high price tag. While the industry average fee is approximately 1.02% annually, my standard fee is 0.50%.

Industry average based on 2025 AdvisoryHQ and Kitces Research studies.  Lower fees do not guarantee higher investment returns. All investing involves risk.

The Independent Advantage

I replaced the high-overhead franchise model with a lean, independent fiduciary structure. This allows me to offer professional 401(k), IRA, and wealth management for a single 0.50% fee. No hidden layers, no corporate markups.

Why First Shelbourne

After 20 years as a New York police officer, I founded First Shelbourne on the same principles that guided my service: integrity, protection, and loyalty to the people I serve. As an independent, fiduciary investment advisor, I specialize in helping civil service workers and retirees, as well as individuals and families navigating significant savings or inheritances, manage their wealth with clarity and confidence. My firm offers a transparent, client‑first alternative to high‑overhead national franchises.
